First are his first two jobs, obvious cover jobs, the first provided by William Barr Sr, a former OSS spook. How a double college dropout was initally connected to the intelligence services is something I'd very much love to know. He was as unqualified as a prep school teacher as he was for his second job at Bear Stearns. However he was plugged in, he stayed that way long enough for them to run interference during his first conviction.

(Former prince) Andrew Windsor has been arrested for feeding Epstein classified material. He's most likely not alone and I doubt if he'd been arrested unless the Crown had masses of evidence. What we don't know is what Epstein did with it.

Epstein was well known to curry favor and gain access to the rich and powerf Once he'd gotten access, he set about finding out ul by doing favors for them, from money laundering to just letting them use one of his planes for honest or even lofty purposes. Once he'd gained access, he reportedly set about exploiting them.

Whispers for years have mentioned money laundering, blackmail, extortion, embezzlement, and just outright theft. It has long seemed to me that trafficking underage kids for sex was a sideline, his favorite hobby.

How much of this will we ever know? Not much, not for a very long time. Everyone who enabled him, funded him, used his services, got blackmailed, or was trafficked has to be safely dead before this shit really starts to come out.

I have little doubt that he was murdered in jail by people who didn't want him to talk about any of it, ever. I just wonder what took them so long.
